CHARGING THE BATTERY PACKS
The 20V battery packs for this tool are supplied in a low charge condition to prevent possible problems, and must
be charged completely before you use the tool for the first time.
NOTE: The battery packs and charger are not included with model 20716BT.
1. Connect charger to a 120V, 60Hz AC outlet. The green lights on the charger will illuminate, indicating that the
charger is powered.
2. Slide the battery all the way into one of the charger ports until it clicks. The red light on the corresponding charger
port will illuminate, indicating that the battery is charging.
Charging Indication:
• Solid Green: Ready to Charge
• Solid Red: Charging
• Solid Green: Charged
3. When the battery is charged, the red light will turn off and the green light will turn on. Remove the battery from
the charger and unplug the charger from the power supply.
NOTE: Battery will not reach full charge the first time it is charged. Allow several cycles for the battery to fully
charge. The battery pack may become warm while charging; this is normal. If the battery is hot after continuous use
in the tool, allow it to cool to room temperature before charging. This will prolong the life of your battery.
The battery pack is equipped with three LED battery life indication lights. Press and hold the power button on the
front or rear of the battery to check the battery’s charge status.
Battery Life Indication:
• Three Lights: The battery is fully charged.
• Two Lights: The battery is about 60% charged.
• One Light: The battery is almost out of power and needs to be charged.
INSERTING AND REMOVING THE BATTERIES (FIG. 7, P. 15)
NOTE: The dethatcher / scarifier requires 2 batteries to operate. You may use batteries of two different capacities
(e.g. 2Ah and 4Ah), but the dethatcher / scarifier’s runtime depends on the lower-capacity battery. For best results,
we recommend using at least 4Ah batteries.
1. To install the battery, slide the battery pack into the battery port. Make sure the release latch on the rear side of
the battery pack snaps into place and the battery is secure before beginning operation.
2. To remove the battery pack, press the battery release latch on the front of the battery and pull the battery pack out.
